carpet mill (home-made)

We used PVC piping as rollers (believe revolution uses steel conveyors ) and the thinest carpet possible. I think it was called Paradise at Home Depot, cost 49 cents a square foot. No plush to it at all.

 

OP.....wat did ye use as the roller wheels?...is there any pics that show it assembling from start to finish??appreciated.

My Home made mill, it's dark but you can hear it turning. A half revolution on a good strong pull with a rubber belt.

 

purepit...you run that brindle female on that thing alot? She's stacked...good looking bitch...built like a brick shit house

 

The only bitch i have that runs the carpet is the red bitch in the video. She doesn't use it often, just depends on the type of condition I want her in. Thanks for compliment!!

 

keep it coming and share the blueprint =]

 

Bring Backup on the next mill you make Router slots for the front roller so you can adjust them . It will take out the excess slack in the belt and will stop the belt from bunching up under his feet and sliding side to side . Keep making improvements and good luck

 

Thank you that is a Really good idea we will keep that in mind when we make are next one

Your dog looks great. Do you think you can pm the instructions. The mill looks awesome. i'm into carpentry and would love to get started on this project

 

The plans are still in the making

 

Anybody got some pics without the carpet in place?

 

Yours and Purepits are very nice, both look sturdy to me. My parents have a treadmill that's collecting dust in their backyard & i've been trying to coax them into giving it to me. I guess I'm gonna have to steal it from them one day It's more like Purepits with the two round cylinders on the front corners. It should be very easy to convert to a carpet mill.

 

Only a phone pic Pirates, I'll PM you later.

 

Just want to let you all know that we will have plans available with Step by Step Photos all high quality and a cut list and what other Products we used on it.

it should be done by end of the month hopefully if not we will let you know but we will let you know when its Available

Thank you for your input and your time

Hey bringback post some pics of the roller setup... even if they are on the phone camera... just describe it..

 

Very nice job for the first build. Keep us posted with your revisions I look fwd to seeing the finished product!!

 

Nice Photos

 

Hey Bring Backup I was looking at your newer pics of the mill, and I thought of something you might be able to use. You see where the deck starts in the front? Well I noticed that the white material on the top comes to an abrupt stop along with the wooden part....possibly put a gradual angle on the front so the carpet isn't running into the edge of that material possibly causing it to turn even more free, and be a little easier on the carpet. Just a suggestion....then again I have never built a mill so.....just an idea.
